CITY OF SOUTH BEND <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />Jerry J. Miller <br />Mayor <br />Rollin E. Farrand, Sr., P. E. <br />Director, Public Works <br />Members of the Common Council <br />County- City.Building <br />South Bend, Indiana <br />Gentlemen: <br />Reply To: . Bureau of <br />Design & Administration <br />February 18, 1975 <br />The Olive Street sewer was constructed about 40 years ago. Because of the <br />mortar joint construction, the groundwater in.the area and infiltration/ <br />exfiltration over a period of many years, the sewer is in very poor condi- <br />tion. This has manifested itself in street cave -ins which have been <br />expensive to repair. In addition, much inconvenience has resulted from <br />these sewer and street repairs on virtually an annual basis. <br />The problem was studied by a consulting engineering firm and as a result <br />of their study, a set of plans and specifications for a replacement sewer <br />system is in hand. Their study and design has been reviewed by at least <br />one member of the Council. <br />We are most desirous of placing this work under contract this spring and <br />are requesting the appropriation for this work. We anticipate that firm <br />bids will be on hand prior to the public hearing on this appropriation. <br />At that time, we will adjust the appropriated amount accordingly. <br />Your favorable action on this appropriation will be appreciated. <br />Veryy� ptruly yours, <br />/IR ej,�s f,��cC <br />Rollin E.
